Luka Doncic absolutely dominates the EuroBasket championship and he is just 18 years of age! He has been playing for Real Madrid since 2015 and the Spanish league is the second best in the world while his American counterparts just finished high school. Doncic is already a very mature player despite his young age and he has a good chance to get drafted 1/1 overall next year.

Even worse than Porzingis did. Doncic almost had a triple double (11pts, 12reb, 8ast) against Spain in the semi final. Scored 27 points against Latvia, Porzingis' team. Slovenia will face the winner of Russia - Serbia in the final, Serbia is the favorite against RU.

I don't like or follow Basketball at all, But is it easy for the top European Players to get in NBA? Or is mostly closed off for the yanks? II'm guessing they get the black american privilege treatment

If the player is really good, it is easy, he will get drafted in the first round, even top 5. Kristaps Porzingis went 4th overall in 2015 just like Dragan Bender from Croatia last year. Doncic is already a better player than Bender. The funny thing is that Darko Milicic got drafted second overall in 2003 which means he was drafted before Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade! Milicic was a huge talent, but he became a bust because he never really cared about the sport. He said that he got drunk before practices and stuff like that. But that is rare, players from Serbia are usually serious about their craft.
